The beef industry has contributed to more American deaths than all the wars of this century, all natural disasters, and all automobile accidents combined.

And we like to think animals have no personality, they are our brothers and sisters being killed for an evening meal

“Something I've never been able to adapt to, to understand is how they can lavish such love and care on the animals and then see them sold for slaughter. I don't dare say anything about it, though. Richard and his friends would be down on me in a flash. But there's some kind of cold, unfeeling contradiction in that business.” ― Robert James Waller, The Bridges of Madison County
